How Were Uneducated Men Educated

The articles appearing i'll several lead
ing monthlies on ''How was Educated, :"
are all written by educated men How
were the uneducated men educated?
Among them were such men as Henry
Wilson, Andrew johnson, Abraham Lin
coin, Edward Hitchcock and hundreds of
others eminent in public life, whose
names are almost household words. How
was Jay Gould educated? 1t would be a
paying investment for some magazine to
hire him to tell the story of his early
mental training. We recently read that
when DIR. Hitchcock was president Of
Amherst college he was asked from what
institution he graduated. He replied,
From my mothers dye tub Those
who were children when President Hitch
cock was boy win remember that in
many houses o wooden dye tub, holding
eight or ten gallons, stood in almost
every kitchen chimney corner, filed with
dye, where the good housewives colored
the yarn for the stockings and mittens Of
the family. 1t was warm, coy place,
and was frequently occupied as a seat

We much mistake the object and scope
of education when we suppose that resi-
dence in college halls is necessary to an
education. We believe in colleges. They
stand as outposts against ignorance.
Thousands Of the best men and women
have been educated by them; but an edu-
cation outside has been accomplished with
excellent success in multitude of in
stances. We often hear of very success

thorough knowledge of men. He could
read them ike book. His Judgment Of
stocks and investments was excellent.
He had aggressiveness, caution, and yet
was almost lavish in his OUTLAWS. He
knew nothing of either Greek or Latin,
but was well versed in the language WAYS
